Ye Xiong, PhD

Biographical Statement

Ye Xiong, PhD, is a research scientist at Henry Ford Health whose work focuses on traumatic brain injury and the development of therapies that promote neurological recovery. His research examines the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in brain damage and repair, with an emphasis on translating laboratory discoveries into potential treatments that improve recovery after traumatic brain injury.

Dr. Xiong's research investigates neurorestorative approaches that stimulate the brain's natural repair processes, including neurogenesis, angiogenesis and neural remodeling. His work has explored cell-based therapies, pharmacological treatments and other strategies designed to reduce brain damage and improve neurological and functional outcomes following injury. He has also studied mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and other biological processes that contribute to secondary brain injury.

Dr. Xiong earned his medical degree, master's degree in biochemistry and trauma, and doctorate in biochemistry and trauma from Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, China. He completed postdoctoral training in biochemistry and molecular biology at Wayne State University School of Medicine. He is a member of the National Neurotrauma Society and Society for Neuroscience.
